Math 55, officially known as “Honors Advanced Calculus and Linear Algebra,” is essentially a nine-month mathematical boot camp. The course teaches four years of math in two semesters. “It’s an intense, warp-speed survey of the entire undergraduate math curriculum in one year,” Harrison says...
Case in point: Ameya A. Velingker ’10 took Advanced Placement calculus his freshman year and ranked in the top 12 for the USA Math Olympiad the year after that. “It was a tough decision to drop,” Velingker says. “You’re around all these people who are beasts at math. But I realized it was not going to work...
...It’s invaluable,” said Thomas W. Judson, a preceptor in the Mathematics Department, who reviewed the tape of David J. Geraghty, a TF in Mathematics 1b, “Calculus, Series, and Differential Equations...
...problem? We certainly have the correct formula. The question is, Can we apply it? Already the N.C.T.M.'s focal points are being called a back-to-basics movement, another swing of the ideological pendulum rather than a fresh look at what it would take to get more kids to calculus by 12th grade. If the script follows that of the Reading Wars, what comes next will be dreary times-tables recitals in unison, dull new books that fail to inspire understanding, and drill, drill, drill, much like the unhappy scenes in many of today's "Reading First" classrooms. And that...
...have fun at a football game in their hometown and then go home for Thanksgiving after classes end on Friday. Note that fun does not equal getting obnoxiously drunk, but rather not being forced to deal with beverage authorization teams, long lines, and the Boston Police Department (BPD). The calculus involved is not complicated, and, while I certainly plan on going to The Game on Saturday, if I went to Yale I would probably make the same decision all of my Yale friends have made...
